Mossad RAW secret Link:
Israel's notorious secret agency Mossad which is known for cold
blooded murder of Israel's opponents and Indian Secret Agency Raw,
which misses no opportunity to create tension, discontent and provoke
rebellion in South East Asia are secretly cooperating with each other
to further their nefarious designs.
Thirty−five years ago, in September 1968, when the Research and
Analysis Wing was founded with Rameshwar Nath Kao at its helm, then
prime minister Indira Gandhi asked him to cultivate Israel's Mossad.
She believed relations between the two intelligence agencies was
necessary to monitor developments that could threaten India and
Israel.
The efficient spymaster he was, Kao established a clandestine
relationship with Mossad. In the 1950s, New Delhi had permitted Tel
Aviv to establish a consulate in Mumbai. But full−fledged diplomatic
relations with Israel were discouraged because India supported the
Palestinian cause; having an Israeli embassy in New Delhi, various
governments believed, would rupture its relations with the Arab world.
This was where the RAW−Mossad liaison came in. Among the threats the
two external intelligence agencies identified were the military
relationship between Pakistan and China and North Korea, especially
after then Pakistan foreign minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto visited
Pyongyang in 1971 to establish a military relationship with North
Korea.
Again, Israel was worried by reports that Pakistani army officers were
training Libyans and Iranians to handle Chinese and North Korean
military equipment.
RAW−Mossad relations were a secret till Morarji Desai became prime
minister in 1977. RAW officials had alerted him about the Zia−ul Haq
regime's plans to acquire nuclear capability. While French assistance
to Pakistan for a plutonium reprocessing plant was well known, the
uranium enrichment plant at Kahuta was a secret. After the French
stopped helping Islamabad under pressure from the Carter
administration, Pakistan was determined to keep the Kahuta plant a
secret. Islamabad did not want Washington to prevent its commissioning.
RAW agents were shocked when Desai called Zia and told the Pakistani
military dictator: 'General, I know what you are up to in Kahuta. RAW
has got me all the details.' The prime minister's indiscretion
threatened to expose RAW sources.
The unfortunate revelation came about the same time that General Moshe
Dayan, hero of the 1967 Arab−Israeli war, was secretly visiting
Kathmandu for a meeting with Indian representatives. Islamabad
believed Dayan's visit was connected with a joint operation by Indian
and Israeli intelligence agencies to end Pakistan's nuclear programme.
Apprehensive about an Indo−Israeli air strike on Kahuta, surface−to−
air missiles were mounted around the uranium enrichment plant. These
fears grew after the Israeli bombardment of Iraq's Osirak nuclear
reactor in 1981.
Zia decided Islamabad needed to reassure Israel that it had nothing to
fear from Pakistan's nuclear plans. Intermediaries −− Americans close
to Israel −− established the initial contacts between Islamabad and
Tel Aviv. Israel was confidant the US would not allow Pakistan's
nuclear capability to threaten Israel. That is why Israeli experts do
not mention the threat from Pakistan when they refer to the need for
pre−emptive strikes against Iraq, Iran and Libya's nuclear schemes.
By the early 1980s, the US had discovered Pakistan's Kahuta project.
By then northwest Pakistan was the staging ground for mujahideen
attacks against Soviet troops in Afghanistan and Zia no longer feared
US objections to his nuclear agenda. But Pakistani concerns over
Israel persisted, hence Zia decided to establish a clandestine
relationship between Inter−Services Intelligence and Mossad via
officers of the two services posted at their embassies in Washington,
DC.
The ISI knew Mossad would be interested in information about the
Libyan, Syrian, Jordanian and Saudi Arabian military. Pakistani army
officers were often posted on deputation in the Arab world −− in these
very countries −− and had access to valuable information, which the
ISI offered Mossad.
When young Israeli tourists began visiting the Kashmir valley in the
early nineties Pakistan suspected they were Israeli army officers in
disguise to help Indian security forces with counter−terrorism
operations. The ISI propaganda inspired a series of terrorist attacks
on the unsuspecting Israeli tourists. One was slain, another
kidnapped.
The Kashmiri Muslim Diaspora in the US feared the attacks would
alienate the influential Jewish community who, they felt, could lobby
the US government and turn it against Kashmiri organizations clamouring for independence. Soon after, presumably caving into
pressure, the terrorists released the kidnapped Israeli. During
negotiations for his release, Israeli government officials, including
senior intelligence operatives, arrived in Delhi.
The ensuing interaction with Indian officials led to India
establishing embassy−level relations with Israel in 1992. The decision
was taken by a Congress prime minister −− P V Narasimha Rao −− whose
government also began pressing the American Jewish lobby for support
in getting the US to declare Pakistan a sponsor of terrorism. The
lobbying bore some results.
The US State Department put Pakistan on a 'watch−list' for six months
in 1993. The Clinton administration 'persuaded' then Pakistan prime
minister Nawaz Sharif to dismiss Lieutenant General Javed Nasir, then
director general of the ISI. The Americans were livid that the ISI
refused to play ball with the CIA who wanted to buy unused Stinger
missiles from the Afghan mujahideen, then in power in Kabul.
After she returned to power towards the end of 1993, Benazir Bhutto
intensified the ISI's liaison with Mossad. She too began to cultivate
the American Jewish lobby. Benazir is said to have a secret meeting in
New York with a senior Israeli emissary, who flew to the US during her
visit to Washington, DC in 1995 for talks with Clinton.
From his days as Bhutto's director general of military operations,
Pervez Musharraf has been a keen advocate of Pakistan establishing
diplomatic relations with the state of Israel.
The new defence relationship between India and Israel −− where the
Jewish State has become the second−biggest seller of weapons to India,
after Russia −− bother Musharraf no end. Like another military
dictator before him, the Pakistan president is also wary that the fear
of terrorists gaining control over Islamabad's nuclear arsenal could
lead to an Israel−led pre−emptive strike against his country.
Musharraf is the first Pakistani leader to speak publicly about
diplomatic relations with Israel. His pragmatic corps commanders share
his view that India's defence relationship with Israel need to be
countered and are unlikely to oppose such a move. But the generals are
wary of the backlash from the streets. Recognising Israel and
establishing an Israeli embassy in Islamabad would be unacceptable to
the increasingly powerful mullahs who see the United States, Israel
and India as enemies of Pakistan and Islam.
